“Le Chateau is blissfully removed from the busy back and forth of mere mortals”–NY Times

The first step toward a dream wedding starts with a ride up a sweeping tree-lined driveway leading to Le Chateau. Housed in a stone and brick Tudor mansion built in 1907 by financier J.P. Morgan as a gift for his friend and former minister, the Dr. Williams S. Rainsford, Le Chateau sits majestically on 32 acres, high on a hill with breathtaking views of the Hudson River Valley.
Old-world elegance is still alive at this country estate. Traditional French fare will impress your guests as well as their palates. Romance fills the air in the chestnut and cherry paneled rooms. The moods of the several lovely dining rooms all with sunset views, range from cozy and intimate to commanding.
Lavish entry way bouquets in elegant vases, soft lighting and polished attentive service are only some of the ingredients that contribute to the perfect wedding experience. Add to this the lovely stone terrace and gardens for the cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, outdoor ceremonies and picture taking and you have a magnificent setting for your “dream” wedding. Other amenities are a bridal preparation room plus recommendations for florist, music or photographer, by our in house event planners. Le Chateau is also ideal for hosting rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, anniversary parties as well as Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, corporate events and other special occasions.
